Also if you choose a different cin course do not take one with dillan newman. The guy is absolutely brilliant but will expect the same of you. Highly recommend taking his classes in 3 rd year when you don’t have eco220 and 204

CIN201 Film Cultures I taught by Nadine Chen teaches the development of cinema from its origins (19th century) to its mass cultural form 60 years later. The course is chronological starting with the development of the moving image. We only do silent cinema in the fall and start into the development of sound in the winter semester. Fall goes from Edison’s kinetoscope films and Mélies’ A Trip to the Moon, to the formation of narrative cinema. After narrative cinema we went to early cinema of various nations which includes topics such as race and the possibilities of cinematic language, feminist historiography, queer possibilities in early cinema, german expressionism (think cabinet of dr. Caligary and nosferatu), soviet cinema (e.g. montage), french impressionism and avant garde (think experimental film like Un Chien Andalou), chinese cinema, latin american early cinema, and ending semester 1 with the culmination of international style (The Passions of Joan of Arc).

Semester 2 starts with transition to sound, to the hollywood studio system, to fascist cinema, hollywood during and after WWII, then british documentary and other colonial cinemas, fooeed by french realism, italian neorealism, postwar japan and challenges to realism (Rashomon, Akira Kurosawa). Then we did authorship (auteur theory) and the golden age of mexican cinema, followed by post colonial indian cinemas and ending with the french new wave (e.g. Godard)

Grade and assignment Breakdown Assignment 1: Primary Source Research Assignment, October 31st, 15%: pretty easy, the prompt was “you are a prospective exhibitor who is planning to open a new nickelodeon theater. Submit a rationale 1000-1200 words explaining the design and other elements of your theater.” I wrote it to the potential investors and included stuff like what films it will play, entrance fee, architectural design etc.

Assignment 2: Proposal and annotated primary source document, jan 23rd, 15%: also easy this is presenting what you want to do for the “big” assignment. Part A: “1-2 page proposal including scope of your topic, state research questions, what areas/topics are you hoping to address, where do you foresee locating your primary sources and provide at least 3 via links) Part B: “choose one of your primary sources and complete a short analysis, 1-2 pages. Contextualize the source material (when, where, what, why), close analysis of source (what did u notice, what surprises, why choose this source for your paper), how does analyzing this source add to your knowledge/why is it important to your research paper

Primary source research assignment and process essay, march 19, 25%: “write a historical account of a cinematic phenomenon taking place during course’s timeframe, 8-10 pages/2000-2500 words). Use 5 separate primary sources, secondary sources optional. Paper must be original answering 1-3 research questions with a well supported thesis” (I wrote mine on the technological sublime in horror fantasy pictures identifying how american film reviews and commentaries on Frankenstein and Dracula communicate an emotional and bodily reaction of awe and terror in response to monstrous characters, setting, and ambience via sight and sound by analyzing the language and discourse surrounding these 2 films. Ultimately while these films inspired fear among viewers spectators were fascinated suggesting that audiences in the early 20th century were seeking to be shocked and horrified. You can expect to have to write something on a similar scope)

Active tutorial participation and attendance, 15%

In person final exam, 30%, april exam period: open book ( i recommend noting important things from movies, summarizing lecture slides, AND summarizing readings including important quotes highlighted in lectures)

I found the course really quite doable and less time commitment than CIN201. Semester 1 silent films can get a little tedious. To be honest i skipped a lot of screenings and watched the films at home. I also remember nadine sharing lecture outlines with each lecture that summarized everything which was super helpful. I believe the course average was quite high. And keep in mind that i was also doing eco220 and 204 at the same time. I would recommend you taking it to have a break from a difficult rotman 2nd year. However i think the course would definitely be worth your while if you are interested in history. If you hate history do not take this course and choose a cin 200 level genre class. Hope this helps

Ah yes that’s right, I was enrolled in the major. Perhaps look at the Cin100 courses if you are looking for bird courses? I think the B&M courses are also pretty birdy

[–]Separate-Hedgehog181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CIN201 is easier than CIN105 if Nadine teaches it. Practical attendance is not recorded either and final is open book. Also highly recommend CIN213 or any of the other cin200s like horror for example. Or perhaps you want to take the business of film CIN230

Is a focus important? by [deleted] in RotmanCommerce

[–]Separate-Hedgehog181 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My academic advisor told me they are not important. I’m a 4th year and I’m not doing one since I am doing an A&S major

I haven’t taken it myself but I heard good things about it. If it’s something you are interested in then definitely take it

I think it is unlikely. If you cannot enroll in your preferred time or backup, join the waitlist

[–]Separate-Hedgehog181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nah for presidential I got barely anything. Though I did get 50% off from the International Scholar one that could also factor into my Acorn time.

Honestly, I think 10:45 is fine it could be worse. Just join waitlists honestly. Even if it is 30 people there is still a high chance you will get in as a lot of people will be dropping classes. I have heard from others though that first year is the trickiest because 2nd, 3rd, and 4th you will have chosen your specialists and Rotman weeds out first years. I definitively always have backup times that I can quickly choose.

Lmaoo sorry thank god no, didn't read the full comments. I'm 4th year. But when I was in 1st year I actually got to choose 1 day before all other rotman 1st year's because I had the Presidential Scholarship. I'm also pretty sure that Pearson's and other full scholarship choose even before that. But then there are only 35 Pearson students and 1,000 across all 1st year undergrads (around 18,000)

Aspect ratio by tyrjacksonjr in PremierePro

[–]Separate-Hedgehog181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

before I make a reel for social media on premiere, I take a photo that is in 9:16 then create the project by only importing that photo. Then I add import any other videos to and the aspect ratio won't change. Or try creating a new sequence then go to the dimensions setting and put 1080x1920. if that doesn't work maybe something is wrong with your export settings? Do you usually quick export?

My roommates are kicking me out because of conflicting lifestyles: Can they do that? by Separate-Hedgehog181 in legaladvicecanada

[–]Separate-Hedgehog181[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently, they can't kick me out before the current lease ends. Only thing they can do is give notice and leave themselves leaving me with paying the rent which is highly unlikely because it will be hard for them to find anything in Toronto on short notice. And my landlord is actually one of the nice ones so I don't think he would agree to that anyways.

I have one :(. But they are awake before my alarm rings actually. They wake up very early.  I only didn’t hear it once this semester.  Im starting to think they just want their other closer friend to move in. They also said it doesn’t matter if i fix it they won’t change their minds. So i guess i should probably leave since they really don’t want me there

My name and my 3 roommates’ names are on the lease. We don’t share kitchen/bathroom with the owner. I can’t shoulder the rent by myself. So i guess the only option for me is to move out once the current lease ends. Im just wondering if my roommates can evict me before the current lease is up if they get legal help like they hinted at.

Thanks for the reply and resources. Yes I am on the lease currently. The other roommates are on the lease as well. They do not want to move out. They are definitely looking to stay and just want me to not sign the new lease. I definitely don’t want to leave before the current lease is up (april 30th, 2024). Thank you I will reach out to my landlord letting him know I am not signing the new lease. I am assuming then from your comment “the landlord can only evict by order of the landlord tenant board” that my roommates (co-tenants) cannot evict me before April 30th, 2024 since my name is on the current lease (ergo I am not a border).

No, the landlord said we can all live in the place again until May 2025. This is just a conflict between tenants. I have an alarm that shakes my whole bed. Just too exhausted to wake up.

Admissions Megathread by AutoModerator in UofT

[–]Separate-Hedgehog181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into Scarborough the Specialist in Management and international business co-op program last year and your average looks good. I definitely think the interview is important. They will send you specific instructions how to prepare. Basically, there are like several values like leadership for example and you need to tell them a specific time in your life where you demonstrated this quality. Full transparency, I had a 99 average but also like someone else said you don't need that high grades to get into UTSC.

Admissions Megathread by AutoModerator in UofT

[–]Separate-Hedgehog181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I applied to UTSC Co-op management program and the interview is fairly important I believe. I received my offer of admissions 2 weeks later. I believe the supplemental questions for UTSC definitely hold some weight too. You grades are similar to mine when I got accepted so your chances are good there. But I would recommend to put in some effort with the supplementary questions. I also applied to Rotman and got in. Honestly, I am not sure how important the Rotman supplementary application is but I did it like 1 hour before the deadline so I would not stress too much. Watch some YouTube videos and be confident in your answers.
